The Council functions through its committees. Council members have ushered at all school affairs, sent sympathy and convalescent cards to students, maintained a lost and found department, assisted with the planning of assemblies, and arranged for transportation services to out-of-town athletic events. The administration of all community welfare drives in the school has been handled by the Council. The annual Penny-A-VVeek drive reached the amount of 330133. This money purchased dolls, toys, oranges, and candy for needy children in Pottsville. The pur- chase of a CARE package was made and sent to France. An acknowledgment was received from the Dessenon family of Nancy, France. Regular appearances of the school band and seven professional programs from the Antrim Lyceum Bureau were types of assemblies provided. The Freshman Day assembly program was presented by talented members of the class. The social program of the Council included the covered dish supper for the new members of the faculty, the Christmas party for faculty children and the younger brothers and sisters of Council members, the All-School Dance, and the annual picnic. A juke box was obtained for use during the lunch hour. Baseball was introduced as an additional sport. The Council sent five representatives to the annual State Conference of Student Councils at Altoona and participated in the program. The Council plans to send the president and vice-president elect to the leadership training camp at Shelby, Michigan, this summer. The housing arrangements for the All-State Chorus were made by the Council. The Council served as a clearing house for the scheduling of functions for this group. The Council hopes that they have been able to carry out their objectives in a manner that had value for the Pottsville High School. We Wish to express our appreciation for the able guidance of our sponsor, Miss Dorothy K. Critz. OFFICERS JOAN LETCHER . . . ............ ...... P resident DANIEL OST ..... . . .

Profits made on the show are used for art educational tours through museums in larger cities and also for two twenty-five dollar scholarships at the end of the year, which are awarded to seniors who have shown marked ability in art. The club is composed of twenty-one membersg however, the membership is not limited, and varies through the years.

The meetings were held every second Tuesday and consisted of a study of osteology and articulation, slides depicting animals and their environment, various discussions, and a presentation of a donation to the American Heart Society. The club offers its members an excellent opportunity to express their views and obtain a broader and deeper meaning in the field of biology, which has become so important in our everyday activities.

HAVILAND The Associated Choirs The Associated Choirs of P. H. S. began the school year 1948-'49 with a flourishing membership of 276 enthusiastic young singers. The Junior Choir of freshmen and sophomores numbered 965 the Girls' Choral Club, sophomores and juniors, 755 the A Cappella Choir and Choral Ensemble, mainly juniors and seniors, 105. With three and a half months' preparation, the 21st Annual Christmas Concert on December 15, was one of the finest in the long musical annals of the school. The choirs, managed and conducted by student officers, sang in brilliant style a difficult and varied program, which was effectively broadcast over both VVPANI and VVPPA. The Crimson Singers, conducted by Jack D. VVarner, joined with the school choirs in making the evening a memorable one for both the singers, their director, Earl W. Haviland, and a large and responsive audience. The major part of the broadcast was repeated on Christmas morning by transcription, affording a most enjoyable treat for singers and conductors, in hearing their choral achievements from the comfort of their own homes. The Annual Christmas program, presented before the joint meeting of Lions and Kiwanis, Was, as in past years, splendidly received by the clubs' members and much enjoyed by the personnel of the senior choir. ...87,- Qutstanding in the musical and educational annals of the school was the All-State High School Choral Festival, held at Pottsville High School, hlarch 31, April l and 2. This elite group of 240 singers, chosen by audition from 180 Pennsylvania high schools, members of the P. RI. E. A., was entertained in the homes of the city and in the cafeteria, auditorium, and gymnasium of the school. The host privilege conferred on Pottsville High School in Klay of l9-l8 at Sharon, by an overwhelming vote of the P. NI. E. A. delegates, demonstrated statewide recog- nition of the impressive record compiled throughout a score of years by the choral organizations of P. H. S. Under the fine professional leadership of the guest conductor, Dr. Harry Robert VVilson, of Columbia University, the festival chorus rehearsed two days, gave a com- plimentary concert on Friday afternoon to the faculty and student body, and two public gala concerts on Friday and Saturday nights. A sparkling program, wide in musical and emotional scope, gave the chorus fullest opportunity to demonstrate unusual beauty of tone, perfect harmonic balance, and stirring interpretation. Enthusiastic audiences, which overflowed the auditorium, gave a rousing assurance to the visiting choristers and their directors that Pottsville citizens fully appreciated ,-88... ps: vs- 11' . . , ' if 5 5 ' Q 5 1 i - i - pd . .L . , both their Hue singing and the honor of being host to such an outstanding group. For the first time in the history of the All-State Chorus, a local choir was featured in a choral clinic before the directors of the P. KI. E. A. Dr. Clel T. Silvey, of the Indiana State Teachers College, acted as commentator. He opened the program with a brief address, How shall music educators secure a wider correlation of choral music with history, literature, and the companion arts ? ln part one, the A Cappella Choir and the readers presented Carl Sandburgls HLong Shadow of Lincoln, with appropriate music and excerpts from Lincolnls speeches and state papers. This was conducted by Earl VV. Haviland. In part two, the Choral Ensemble was heard in the modern VVaring arrangement of Tschaikowslqds K'Nut-Cracker Suite. The difficult and beautiful music, brilliantly performed, was further enhanced in the graceful and spirited interpretation of Tschai- kowsky's lovely ballet by four groups of dancers, ranging in age from ten to seventeen years, under the direction of Jack Dale, local choreographer. Guest conductor Chester Stineman, President of the Eastern District, P. BI. E. A., led the young singers with verve and authority. ,-89.-. Senior leadership, as always, was a major factor in superior achievement. To men- tion only a few out of many: Thomas Umholtz, Ronald Downey, and VVilliam Biever, for teaching, directing, and inspiring the senior group of 105 singersg Carolyn Bell, for sensitive musicianship and faithful service as choir accompanistg Klarcia Yoffe, for her eloquent and sincere reading of many beautiful and moving poems that contributed so much of spiritual and artistic significance to the integrated 'lideal' programs of the Choir.

H. S. Band-1948-1949 The Pottsville High School Hand continued to grow in musical stature. Then. too, its drills during the football season were superior and brought much commenda- tion from the fans, press, and radio. Since so many new routines have been added to the repertoire and so many praise- worthy performances have been presented at every game, it will not be possible to give a description of all of them. During the half time of the game at Reading, the band formed a pretzel, while majorettes Eileen hlurphy and ,lean Schaeffer did a Dutch dance to the strains of Ach, Du Lieber Augustinf' hlr. Klinnichbach, P. ll. S. band director, presented a huge, real pretzel to the Reading band leader, Klr. Cardin. Following this, the band went into the formation of the new Reading Com- pany streamlined train, The Schuylkill. Real smoke issued from its smoke pipe, the wheels spun around, and the band played live Been Ylvorking on the Railroad, while the engine moved in perfect rhythm and timing across the entire field. The performance evoked a most favorable response from the press, radio announcers, and fans. Janet lleatrich, as head drum major- ette, once again did an admirable job of setting the pace and adding an abun- dance of glamour, aided and abetted by the following charmers: Theresa Po- gera, Jean Schaeffer, Nancy Hale, lfstelle l rankenstein, Eileen llurphy, Dolores Kliscavage, Janet Bartholomew, lfthula Schuettler, and Patricia Schus- fC1'. The high quality musicianship of the band was again acknowledged when eight of its members won places in the l'ennsylx'ania Xlusic lfducation Associa- tion liastern-Uistrict Hand, which met at Klahanoy City on April 7, S, and 9.

Five of these-John Spotts, Allen Koppenhaver, Arnold Paparazo, Richard Freese, and Neil lieihm-won first places, and three-Robert Zimmerman, 1Villiam llloso- lino, and ltfllwood Sheeler-placed high in their respective sections. The All-State Hand was held at Bradford on lllay 12, 13, and 14, at which P. H. S. was represented by Allen Koppenhaver, that tootin, tuba terror. Five instrumentalists Won places in the P. 1NI. E. A. Eastern District Qrchestra, which Diet at lioyertown on December 9, 10, and 11. Three of these-Richard Freese, Neil Keihm, and Robert Zimmerman-Won first places, two others-John Spotts and lllorris Yarowsky-placed high in the opinion of the judges. Richard Freese Won a signal honor by having been chosen to represent the school in the All- State Orchestra, which assembled at Greensburg on February 10, 11, and 12. Further honor was bestowed upon him, for he Won first chair in the drum section. The annual spring instrumental concert was held on April 21, with lliajor VVilliam F. Santleman, leader of the U. S. 1Vlarine Band, as guest conductor. The program included the Patterson Division Band of forty players, the Pottsville High School Band of seventy-five musicians, as well as individual soloists and small ensembles. llany of the compositions played in the concert were also on the program of the All-State Band. lVlajor Santleman was thrilled with the performance of the Potts- ville High School Band and soloists. He stated that seldom in his long career as a musician has he ever heard a high school band play with such professional style and accurate intonation. The band is directed by lllr. Leo F. lllinnichbach, Whose many years in the realm of professional music are responsible for the outstanding work which he produces. The band provided spirited music for assembly programs and community activities, it closed a highly successful season by playing for the annual class day and commence- ment exercises.

In the six-year period he had been in charge of P. H. S. football, Kotys set up the enviable record of 46 victories, 19 defeats and two ties, one of the best in the history of Crimson and White athletics. His 1946 eleven was undefeated. A native of Monessexi, Pa., where he played football as a high school student, Kotys then attended Vil- lanova, where he played in the backfields of the famed Harry Stuldreher. Upon graduation from Villanova, he accepted a coaching job at Shickshinny High School below VVilkes-Barre, then moved further down the Susquehanna River to become coach at Bloomsburg High. He came to Pottsville to take charge of the 1943 football squad. Highlights of his six-year stay at Pottsville High School: the highest scoring team in P. H. S. history, the 1948 team C375 pointsj 5 the biggest gaining squad, 1948 14,172 yardsj 3 the first undefeated team in a full schedule in the school's history, 19465 teams which drew three of the Hve biggest attendances in P. H. S. history, and the team H9473 which drew the biggest paid attendance, 61695, of any year of Crimson and VVhite football. hir. Felix Kadel has been chosen to succeed lVIr. Kotys as head football coach at Pottsville High. It is the sincere hope of the 49'ers that his efforts will be as equally significant or even more so than were those of his predecessor. ,-95...

Football Season- 1948 The Pottsville High School football team of 1948 had an outstanding season, bowing only to Bethlehem. Total points scored: 443, opponents: 77. Closest victory was that over Reading, 6-2. The backfield was very light but fast and tricky, outrunning most of their opponents. Mastering the tricky defenses set up by the coaching, the line played smart football. The Lions' Club plaque was awarded to Paul Pete Stoudt as the most outstanding player. Shortly after the season ended, Pottsville was stunned when Nick Kotys, one of the best coaches in the school's history, resigned to become backfield coach at Yale Ifniversity. But in Felix Kadel, his able successor, Pottsville Iligh looks brightly ahead to the 1949 Season- P. H. s. 53-SAINT CLAIR 6 Pottsville rang up the curtain of the 19-I-8 football season by defeating Saint Clair 53 to 6 at the Veterans' Memorial Stadium before 6,000 fans.

S. chalked up its fifth straight Eastern Conference victory by defeating a rugged Shamokin team, 34--7, before 7,000 thrilled fans at the Veterans' Memorial Stadium. Four minutes after the game got under way, Bill VVood was off on a 50-yard sideline scamper. The same play was repeated on a shorter distance before the first period was over. Fighting his way through the line, George Corky Johns made a magnificent 78-yard scoring run. Wood recovered a fumble on the visitors' 20-yard stripe. Four plays put the pigskin on the 9, and Jackie Brennan went over for a tally, bringing the score to 20-0, and Johns again netted the extra point. Verano skirted right end from the 5-yard line for the Greyhounds' only touchdown. A pass, Price to Verano, netted the extra point. On the third play following the kickoff, Johns broke loose for pay dirt. The extra point was good and it brought the score up to 27-7. Joedean Mayberry's pass to Bob Reiley resulted in a 65-yard touchdown play, rolling the final Swfe UP to 34-T P. H. s. 34-LEBANON 7 , Pottsville stretched its win streak to six straight hy romping over Lebanon, 34 to 7, before 10,000 fans at the Veterans' Memorial Stadium. Bill VVood set the pace with four touchdowns of 16, 40, 60, and 55 yards, and Jack Brennan dashed 30 yards for another. Pottsville's linemen played exceptionally well, opening holes for the speedy backs and battering the opposition's forward wall. The Cedars' only T.D. was made late in the last quarter when Gingrich broke away for a 50-yard tally. P. H. S. subs showed their spirit by playing alert and aggressive football. P. H. S. 33-McADOO 6 The Crimson Bulldogs ran wild over a weak but game McAdoo team, defeating them 33 to 6 under our floodlights before the smallest crowd of the season, under 5,000 fans. VVith the game only two minutes under way, Bill VVood was off on a 45-yard run. The most exciting incident of the game was an 82-yard touchdown run by Bob Reiley, who scored again after taking a lateral from Joe Mayberry. Johns converted the extra point. Tommy Xedeas crashed over from the 3-yard line to score. Jack FRESHMEN FOOTBALL SQUAD Snyder scored when he fell on a McAdoo punt which had been blocked and rolled back into the end zone. The Varsity saw only liraitedllctiogrin Qs gimei L lr B.-I-L SLZQLTAMAQJA 20 - - - - - .- Tamaqua rallied in the last period to gain a 20-20 deadlock with Pottsville at the Blue Raiders' stadium, Friday evening, Octo- ber 30, 1948, before 10,000 thrilled fans. First scoring of the game went to Pottsville on quarterback Karl Zeller's plunge from the 1-yard line. Steve Comisac tied the score 6-6 at the end of the first quarter. Second period, Johns hit pay dirt from the 3-yard stripe, making a 13-6 score. Jackie Brennan went over from the 2-yard line and johns' second placekick gave P. H. S. a 20-6 lead at the end of the third quarter. Tamaqua's aerial attack proved to be a constant threat to Pottsville. P. H. S. 0-BETHLEHEM 17 Pottsville High dropped out of the unbeaten elevens by bowing to a strong Bethlehem team at the Lehigh Valley gridiron before 8,000 fans, Saturday afternoon, November 6, 1948. Playing a good defensive game, Pottsville's forward wall held Bethlehem scoreless the first quarter. Bethlehem's aerial attack caused the Bulldogs trouble. Pottsville's closest approach to Bethlehem's goal stripe was in the fourth period when a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness and a 5-yard gain for 12 men on the field put the ball on the 32-yard line. This advantage was quickly lost when Bethlehem took the ball on downs. Pottsville played alert ball but their fumbles proved costly, as Bethlehem had a strong defensive team. P. H. S. S3-HAZLETON 0 The P. H. S. Bulldogs ran wild over the lVIountaineers, swamping them 53-0 at the Veterans' Nlemorial Stadium, the last East- ern Conference game of the season. The Crimson's fast fleeted backs and plucky linemen proved to be too much for Hazleton. Two spectacular runs of 80 and 73 yards were made by Brennan and Reiley. Other scoring honors went to Zacko, who skirted around right end, and Xedeas, who snagged a latteral from Mayberry. All of Pottsville's scrubs saw action in this game. P. H. 6-READING 2 Pottsville's lone touchdown made by quarterback Karl Zeller produced a 6-2 victory over the Red Knights in a hectic battle witnessed by 10,000 fans at Albright College Stadium. After a scoreless first half, an exchange of punts gave Pottsville the ball on Reading's 36-yard stripe. After Reiley, VVood, and Johns brought the ball up to the 1-yard line, Zeller plunged through to score. Only a minute remained and Pottsville stalled for time by short bucks and then on fourth down instead of punting, Jackie Brennan ran behind the goal for a safety, preventing Reading from tying the score. P. H. S. 19-ALLENTOYNN CENTRAL CATHOLIC 7 The Crimson VVarriors ended a highly successful 1948 season by defeating a strong Allentown Irish team before a colorful Thanksgiving Day crowd of 7,500. The first tally was made by Johns on a 65-yard run. A 40-yard pass play, Zeller to Snyder, sparkled 65 yards and later the duo scored on a 7-yard pass snagged on the goal line. Allentown's Gallis spot pass to Schleder in the end zone accounted for their only score. Brennan's 22-yard run scored the final P. H. S. T.D. of the season. Thirteen Crimson seniors who played their last game were Peter Trynosky, jack Snyder, Bill Biever, Lauren Meiswinkel, Ron Downey, john Mushock, Paul Stoudt, George Corky johns, Bill XVood, jack Brennan, Karl Zeller, Allen Koppenhaver, and Norman Piccioni.

X' ' X A X ' XXXXX XXX N XJ,Ni, ' PN Distributive Education Class Distributive Education is a vocational program designed to help students acquire the business techniques that will lead to success in a career of distribution. The purposes of Distributive Education are to broaden students' opportunities for securing a position, to meet a civic need by furnishing trained help for the retailers in the locality, and to make students better consumers. lt is a part of a state and national ''up-to-the-minute!i program for practical training, and it helps the student to do a better job of selling himself in any field. While getting their practical experi- ence in the stores of the community, student trainees are paid a commensurate salary. There is an advisory committee of merchants which approves the course of study, solicits job opportunities, and in innumerable ways makes itself helpful to the students in the course and their teacher-coordinator. VVithout their cooperation and the interest of participating merchants, this course would be an impossibility. We in Pottsville are most fortunate in having such a progressive and practical course in our school, and We deeply appreciate the splendid cooperation We receive which is so necessary to the successful operation of any Distributive Education program.

The capacity audience was highly amused by the hilarious events which occurred when the Gordons moved into an old mansion in Sparkling Springs. A black cat named Albert, a Walking snowman, the antics of roguish Betty Lou-disguised as an eleven-year-old imp-were some of the things that made this presentation a laugh riot in three acts.

You are certainly worthy of the patronage of the student body of Pottsville High School. -147'-f ow fo use Good eading By A'I'WOOD TOWNSEND, Chairman of the Committee on College Reading Reading is an endless opportunity, an ever-open door to ever-greater mental growth. Practically all the wisdom in the World is in books that have been Written, but the more one reads, the richer one is in true and useful wisdom. Above all, never forget that creative intelligence is correlation of facts and ideas, not mere memorizing. What counts in what you learn is what you can do with your knowledge, by linking it up with other things you have studied or observed. If you read Plutarch's Life of Julius Caesar, think how his rise to political power paralleled the technique of Adolph Hitler, or that of your local political boss. lf you read a play by Shakespeare, think how his portrayal of one of the characters helps you to understand someone you know. In everything you read, keep in the back of your mind what it means to your life in this country in this year, how it supports or challenges the things that you were taught in school, in church, and at home, and how the wis- dom you get from books can guide you in your thinking, in your voca- tional career, in your voting as a citizen, and in your personal morals. ln short, what you read is both the measure of your intellectual level, and the means of raising it to the utmost of your capacity.
